I know I am in the minority here but the concept of killing a spawning female really is just a feel good idea. Whether you kill it in Jan or July a dead fish cannot reproduce. The only fishery that has responded to regulations in my opinion is the Striped Bass and they were banned from commercial harvest. Granted I am not a scientist but it seems obvious what needs to be done if indeed we want to see a rebound in stocks of any species.
